Barnert & Drewitz

During the Corona period, Götz Drewitz realised his lifelong dream and found the perfect partner for the Barnert & Drewitz winery in Eric Barnert. On just 0.5 hectares of terraced steep slopes, they cultivate old vines rooted in a fascinating geological patchwork of granite, diorite, slate, drifting sand and loess.
The Bergstrasse remains an insider tip - small plots nestle between meadows and fruit trees, while many established winegrowers are giving up. Barnert and Drewitz take the opposite approach: uncompromising manual labour, organic cultivation and minimal intervention in the historic cellar of Schloss Schönberg.
Their credo is simple: the wines should be an unadulterated reflection of their origins. A bold project that shows how passion and geological understanding can result in authentic wines - off the beaten track.
